Dotted ones are listed below. Fragrance allergens, essential oils and alcohol - **Drying alcohol:** alcohol denat. - **Fragrance:** listed as “fragrance”. US labels don’t have to name the allergens inside a fragrance, so there may be more than this list shows. The EU requires these allergens to be named on cosmetic labels above 0.001% in leave-on products ([Regulation 1223/2009, Annex III](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:02009R1223-20250501)). They can cause skin reactions in people who are sensitized; they don’t affect whether a sunscreen is legal anywhere we track. Note: Walmart is the labeler of record for Equate, and the actives and inactive list (label order) come from its FDA-filed label on DailyMed.

It is allowed under the sunscreen laws of Hawaii statewide, Aruba, the Northern Mariana Islands and Thailand's national parks, but not in Maui County, Hawaiʻi County (Big Island), the U.S. Virgin Islands, Palau and Guam. Labels like “Hawaii Act 104 compliant” only mean a product has no oxybenzone or octinoxate; they don’t make a chemical sunscreen legal on Maui or the Big Island. ### Is Equate Sport Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 legal in Hawaii? Under Hawaii’s statewide law (Act 104, which bans oxybenzone and octinoxate) it is allowed. In Maui County (Maui, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi), which allows only mineral sunscreens, it is not allowed because it contains avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate and octocrylene, and Maui’s rule covers using it there, not just selling it. In Hawaiʻi County (the Big Island), which has a mineral-only rule for sales, it is not allowed. Oʻahu and Kauaʻi have no county rule, so only the statewide law applies there. ### Where is Equate Sport Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 not allowed? Maui County: it contains avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate and octocrylene, which are not allowed there. Hawaiʻi County (Big Island): it contains avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate and octocrylene, which are not allowed there. The U.S. Virgin Islands: it contains octocrylene, which is not allowed there. Palau: it contains octocrylene, avobenzone, homosalate and octisalate, which are not allowed there. Guam: it contains octocrylene, which is not allowed there. ### Does Equate Sport Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 contain oxybenzone? No. It contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate, the two chemicals banned under Hawaii’s statewide law. Being oxybenzone-free does not make it mineral: it still uses chemical UV filters. ### Is Equate Sport Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 a mineral or chemical sunscreen? Chemical. Its UV filters are avobenzone 3%, homosalate 10%, octisalate 5% and octocrylene 2%. ### Is Equate Sport Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 water resistant? Yes, for up to 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, according to its label. Reapply after 80 minutes in the water, immediately after towel drying, and at least every 2 hours. ### What is the NDC for Equate Sport Sunscreen Spray SPF 30? Equate Sport Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 is listed with the FDA under National Drug Code 49035-846. The NDC identifies this sunscreen on its FDA drug label (DailyMed); package sizes carry longer package NDCs.
